Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Helps Back Pain Patients Manage Their Back Pain
Chiropractic’s goal is to provide the back pain sufferer a sense of control over the back pain and to live through the pain and not avoid life. That’s also the goal of your Manahawkin chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative care of spine pain. It’s a partnership involving the Manahawkin back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is amazing! A recent survey reported that chiropractors like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center enjoy their profession most because they are able to decrease pain as well as increase strength, flexibility, and power with their patients through an inclusive treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were reported as “being trained to diagnose” – the foundation for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality of life.” (1) Your Manahawkin chiropractor agrees! Being your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - especially in managing spine pain issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned how a community’s healthcare workforce impacted the care of low back pain sufferers. They discovered that one new spine surgeon increased non-conservative care episodes by 31.3 per 1000 older adults, the increase of one primary care physician reduced 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 mature adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7 conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative care episodes per 1000 mature adults. The researchers admit certain limitations in their study as they pulled a specific group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had at least one episode of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the analysis set. (2) In the Medicare population, healthcare provider availability influences how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is altered by provider type and whether the provider availability increases or decreases. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly associated with increased spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a community decreased spending. (3) In Manahawkin, back pain sufferers get a partner at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center who can guide them with in-office care in addition to at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF CARE
Medicine is recognizing that the one who is truly at the core of managing pain and chronic disorders is the person dealing with pain and chronic disorder. When back pain happens to be the chronic issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages most of the time anyway and wants suggestions about how best to do that: when to request more care (symptoms, imaging, advice), how to manage pain (behavioral changes to contain and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s effectiveness. These all take guidance from clinicians along the lines of education about the condition and the partnership of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Manahawkin back pain sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center must communicate how each views back pain management to best help the patient!
